Hi, I am using Virtuemart 3.0.14 and Joomla 3.6
Probably a very simple question - I am looking to add meta keywords to my products. Do I use a # hashtag (similar to how I would when uploading music to Soundcloud or an image to Instagram) or is there a different format? Do I use hyphens to separate the keywords? And for phrases is is " or '
Your help is much appreciated
with J3.6.x u should be using VM3.0.16+
meta keys are just a comma separated list and considered to be worthless for SEO purposes
Many thanks. Does that mean I am better off simply using the meta description or are there other methods I can add?
The metadesc for products is automatically generated using that product's short description. It is insignificant for SEO purposes, but may well be used on the SERPS page.
Very interesting, I had best do a bit of research on the SEO side of things. Fairly new to the web design, I have two sites that are live now which is good and I enjoy this.
Appreciate your advice here :)
Do you have any good links I could read up on please?
QuoteDo you have any good links I could read up on please?
no .. but could point u to 100's of dross posts with out of date and inaccurate info.. ;)
any posts that start talking about h tags etc discard immediately.. :)
Basically think like Google... if you have something like metatags that you can easily abuse why would Google give them weight?
as its google we want to impress i guess this is the starting point-> www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf
not a mention of H tags.. ;D
But it is good quality links TO your site that will make or break your SEO effort
Thank you!
Exactly the kind of article I was looking for! Please remember I am relatively new to this and am learning it all from scratch ;)
Cheers
